Chapter 908: Chapter 183: Challenging All Saints (Guaranteed +4k Extra 12)
Qu River Realm, beside the Heavenly River.
Several figures sat like boulders, utterly tranquil, each fishing on their own, with lines made of their respective Saint Path energies, inconspicuous and possessed of unique Daoist Charm powers.
At the other end of the line, stretching into the snow-white Heavenly River, the water roared with many shadowy figures of Demons within, each emanating a terrifying presence.
Suddenly, the line in the young manâs hand seemed to tremble. His eyes brightened dramatically, showing a look of surprise as he quickly pulled up.
At the same time, on the other end of the line, the fish hook extended swiftly, impaling the prey, rooting itself in its viscera and grasping its lifeline!
âThe fish is hooked!â
Li Hao beamed with joy as he vigorously tugged, and although the prey struggled fiercely, it was no match for his Final Realm strength and was dragged out of the Heavenly River amidst waves hundreds of feet high.
âWhat a big fish!â
Li Hao saw the scales churning on the waterâs surface, reflecting colors of the rainbow; his eyes gleamed even brighter with surprise:
âAnother Divine Water Tao Fish!â
This was a special spirit formed in the Heavenly River absorbing Dao Power, a type of Spiritual Object, which could be used as nourishment for Tao Tribulation Emperor Weapons.
This was the second Divine Water Tao Fish Li Hao had caught here.
Hearing Li Haoâs words, the other three couldnât help but glance over, envy and amusement flickering in their eyes.
Lie Sky Saint said with admiration, âNot bad, almost catching up with me; Iâve only caught four.â
Hearing her boast, the corners of Feng Bopingâs mouth twitched slightly.
He had only caught one.
The Sword Master, hearing Lie Sky Saintâs words, unconsciously gripped the line tighter in his fingers, like Feng Boping, he too had only caught oneâŠ
Lie Sky Saint was not wrong; despite being a woman, her fishing skills were truly the best under All Heavens.
Li Hao also deeply admired Lie Sky Saintâs fishing skills, feeling they were at least at the Ninth Stage.
Soon, Li Hao pulled up the Divine Water Tao Fish and smiled at the desperately struggling Tao Fish:
âLittle guy, stop flailing. Once you fuse with the Tao Tribulation Emperor Weapon, Iâll leave you a trace of Dao Thoughts, so you wonât completely perish.â
Hearing Li Haoâs words, the Divine Water Tao Fish, only a few meters in size and covered with colorful patterns, its fish eyes began to roll, and then it truly stopped struggling.
It had sensed that Li Hao was a Saint and understood that struggling was futile before a Saint; better to choose to trust.
Li Hao unhooked it and immediately sent it to the Heaven and Earth Space for temporary storage.
âHaotianâs fishing skills are far superior to you two; if your cultivation isnât up to Haotianâs level, how come your fishing skills are also inferior to his?â Lie Sky Saint remarked casually, looking at Feng Boping.
Previously, when she caught the Divine Water Tao Fish, she couldnât help but âsighâ a few times in front of Feng Boping.
âItâs just bad luck this time; next time might not be the same.â Feng Boping immediately retorted in irritation.
He was the first to acknowledge Li Haoâs talent in cultivation, but to say that Li Haoâs fishing skills surpassed his, that he absolutely would not admit.
The Sword Masterâs face also darkened as he said, âAfter the Dao Conference concludes, letâs have another competition; I wasnât prepared this time.â
Lie Sky Saint, seeing their stubbornness, chuckled and said, âThey say women lie, but from what I see, you men were born capable of lying your way to becoming a Saint.â
Feng Boping couldnât be bothered to argue with her about this. Sensing that the water demons had been scared off by Li Haoâs recent activity, he simply reeled in his line, saying:
âThe Dao Conference is just a day or two away; we should also start getting ready.â
âMm.â
The Sword Master quickly reeled in his line too, agreeing with Feng Bopingâs assessment, and said to Li Hao:
âIâll go back to the Sword Ancestor Holy Land first, bring a few of my good-for-nothing disciples to join the fun, and meet up in the Universe.â
Lie Sky Saint scoffed but didnât expose the two men, also reeling in her line, and said to Li Hao:
âIâve detected news in my transformed state; this Dao Conference, besides the usual rewards, even has eight Heaven and Earth Treasures on offer. Tsk, such a grand gesture, who do you think might be providing them?â
She looked toward Feng Boping and the Sword Master.
The two menâs expressions tightened at her words, simultaneously turning their gaze to Li Hao.
Li Hao seemed still immersed in the joy of catching the Divine Water Tao Fish, casually reeling in his line while speaking:
âWho cares who it is, in any case, my fish is already hooked.â
Seeing Li Hao respond thus, the two menâs eyes flickered, and they didnât pursue the topic further, but they had a general notion in their hearts.
Subsequently, the group packed up and returned to the Little Thousand World.
The Sword Master said farewell to Li Hao and others like the Thief Saint; initially, the Sword Master and the Thief Saint, along with Lie Sky Saint, were strangers, but now through Li Haoâs connections, after a month of fishing, they had become acquainted and friends on the Saint Path.
âThis Dao Conference is held in the Universe, we should also be setting off.â
Back in the Holy Land, Feng Boping gathered the Semi-Saints of his sect, selected a few to accompany him, and instructed the others to guard the Holy Land. Incidentally, he also took along Lin Baichuan and Chu Hanwei, his two Direct Disciples.
Although the two had not reached Semi-Saint, they both had a nascent seed of the Saint Path and were barely touching the threshold of Semi-Saint. Neither was a reborn Saint; such talents were considered top-notch.
This Dao Conference, members of the Divine Dynasty Royal Family and ancient families from the Thousand Realms would find it challenging to attend, except for those with heaven-reaching backgrounds, who could expend great efforts to obtain a live place to listen to the Dao.
But Saints could bring their Direct Disciples, and Semi-Saints were all permitted to attend.
Li Hao nodded at Fengâs suggestion to call his Disciples, and after some brief preparations, he asked Lin Qingyue if she wanted to follow.
At Li Haoâs inquiry, Lin Qingyue quickly nodded, giving him a deep look and whispered, âWherever you go, Iâll go.â
